Marx
20.04.27 — 21.04.27An idea can change the world, but it can also divide generations.
In MARX, Johan Heldenbergh steps into the shoes of Karl Marx in a powerful theatrical monologue by theatre maker and philosopher Stefaan Van Brabandt, in collaboration with Het Zuidelijk Toneel and De Verwondering.
Through the voice of Marx himself, we look back on a life full of thought, struggle and controversy. What does it mean to want to change the world, and what price is paid for it? Between ideals and consequences, the portrait of a thinker unfolds, whose ideas proved both liberating and destructive.
No philosopher has left behind such a profound and contradictory legacy as Karl Marx. In MARX, his body of thought is re-examined at a time when inequality and uncertainty are once again at the forefront.
“Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it!”
